A comparative study of self-focusing in seven liquid crystals using picosecond 0.53 and 1.06 μm pulses is presented. MEBBA was found to have the highest nonlinearity at 0.53 μm as determined in an optical power limiting experiment. This limiting appears to be due to nonlinear refraction enhanced by two-photon absorption.
